Probably, you already heard that dogs can smell our fear and can even bark to identify this emotion in some people. Although there is no 100% proven explanation for this ability of our furry, the truth is that they have a sense much more developed than ours, especially if we talk about smell and hearing. And that would be one of the possible explanations for his ability to identify a fearful person.

When we feel fear or other extreme emotion (stress, anxiety, overexcitement), our body releases some hormones into the bloodstream and bodily fluids (urine, sweat, etc.), which alter our body odor. Although these substances may go unnoticed by other people, the powerful smell of dogs is able to easily identify the alteration of the smell in the body of the person experiencing this emotion.

In addition, when we feel fear, our body also adopts certain postures and facial expressions other than when we experience a state of relaxation or happiness. A person who is afraid of dogs usually adopts a defensive or apprehensive posture when in the presence of this animal. Remember that fear is an emotion that can lead to organic and involuntary reactions.

Since dogs mainly use body language to communicate, they are also able to perceive alterations in our habitual postures and identify some signals that indicate this state of tension. By identifying defensive or apprehensive posture in some people, dogs can bark by also feeling stressed or fearful in this situation, or simply to chase away and thwart any attempt to attack that could be born of this person in a defensive state.

Do dogs bark certain people to get their attention?

Although we tend to think that a dog barks to those who do not like them, the truth is that our furry can also bark to capture the attention of people they love and invite them to play or receive their caresses. In fact, there are many dogs that bark when they are very enthusiastic, either to perceive the presence of their favorite people, to know that it is time to walk or because their guardian picks up their favorite toy.

If your dog barks at some people to express their happiness to see them and invite them to play, you can observe other positive and friendly signs in their body language. For example, the classic happy tail, raised and waving with enthusiasm, open and friendly facial expressions, or put your ears back when you are stroked or to ask for the caresses of this person.

Do dogs bark at some people to defend their territory?

Dogs are territorial animals that can be very protective in relation to their home, their guardians and their objects. The presence of people, dogs or other unknown animals in your house, can make your dog feel that his territory is invaded and his resources are threatened, so he will have the natural need to preserve them and protect them from any threat. However, a possessive dog usually resorts to aggression and react negatively even to people known to fear losing their toys, their food or their guardian.
